Question of the Day
An 18-month-old female Saanen goat who died the night before is presented for necropsy. She was stunted compared to her herdmates and had a four-week history of poor appetite, unthriftiness, and recent submandibular edema.
Necropsy shows many 0.75- to 1.2-inch (2-3 cm) long pale to red-spiral worms and some hemorrhage in the abomasum.
Several of her herdmates also look unthrifty, and two of them have pale mucous membranes with weakness and reluctance to move.
What is the diagnosis?
